    In civilized countries, this would result in dissolution, votes of no confidence, or recalls, and a snap election.

    Or they could just elect Hakeem Jeffries.

    At some point, GOP leadership has to recognize that the MAGAs and the so-called RINOs are are so far apart that they’re unable to whip enough votes in their caucus for any candidate. If they can’t elect a speaker on their own, the responsible thing to do is to reach out to the Democrats and see what sort of terms they’d ask for in return for support in a speaker vote. It may be as simple as any bill with the sponsors from both major parties can get scheduled for a floor vote.

      the responsible thing to do

      So you know that’s going to be the absolute last option they try.

    It’s all very hilarious until you realize that the MAGAts made an end run after the budget deal to keep the government working, have shut down the government, and intend to keep it shut down, then, not so funny
